It is good for the market. It needed to blow off steam after so many record highs in such a short time.

My worry is that if VIX keeps uptrending and the market continues to lose more, it might blow out some margin calls, which will exacerbate this sell off.

I suspect there will be a pullback tomorrow.

I just read that again, and I was like, the market's closed tomorrow, but people will know what I meant.

And then you. The arguer. You are never late.

Believe it or not, it is still above the 50 MA.

So far, it is simply reverting to the mean.

Good thing I rebalanced my portfolio a couple weeks ago. Instead of being 90% invested in stocks I'm now at 65% short term (CDs), 20% bonds, 15% stocks. Market is heading for a correction it looks like.

Is that really a rebalance? Going from 90% equites to 15% isn’t rebalancing as it’s just a drastic alteration to asset allocation and strategy. Did you post about this change weeks ago?
